spring and autumn officials

Chapter 170

"Yes...it's Uncle who is here."

When Lu Gongxi saw Young Master Hui, it was like a mouse seeing a cat. The arrogance just now disappeared instantly, and he even shrank his shoulders slightly.

When the tall man walked into the tent, he felt like he had entered a deserted place, walking with ease, as if he was not entering the tent of the king of a country, but his own back garden.

Young Master Hui walked in with a resolute face. It was not difficult to see that he must have been a handsome man when he was young, and the years had not left many marks on his face. Even though Young Master Hui is now nearly forty years old, he can still say He is a handsome man, who knows how many little fresh meats he has crushed.

However, Young Master Hui had a sullen face, with a handsome face, and looked extremely sinister.

He squinted his eyes, walked in from the outside, and saw that the monarch did not salute, but Lu Gongxi called him uncle.

Young Master Hui walked in, passed by Lu Gongxi's bathtub, walked straight ahead, sat on the table next to him, reached out to pick up Lu Gong's wine glass and ear cup, and took a sip of water, then Everything in the movements is very familiar, revealing a naturalness.

Lu Gongxi narrowed his eyes and watched him use his own wine glass and earcups, but he didn't say much, but said in a good-natured manner: "Uncle, why are you here?"

As he said, he quickly got up from the bathtub, with a clatter, he stretched out his hand to pull off the cloth towel next to him, and wiped the water indiscriminately, ignoring so much, quickly put his clothes on his body, let his hair fall down, and Wet, soaking the clothes.

Lu Gongxi walked to the table, and he spoke with a smile, but Mr. Hui said "Duo!", put the wine glass and earcup heavily on the table, and said in a cold voice, "Why did I come? Don't you know, Your Majesty?"

Lu Gongxi's face froze, as if he understood what Young Master Hui was talking about, he didn't need to explain too much, he already knew it well, and Young Master Hui made it clear that he came here because of today's dining room incident.

Lu Gongxi's good temper has sunk to the bottom, his face is throbbing with veins, he forcibly endured it, and said patiently: "Uncle, what happened today..."

In fact, Lu Gongxi didn't want to come to this meeting. After all, the power of the emperor was growing day by day, and Lu Gongxi was cautious and always "fearful of trouble", so he didn't want to come to the alliance and didn't want to offend the emperor.

But Gongzi Hui didn't think so. This time, Gongzi Hui was the "main fighter" who advocated helping Qi, and Lu Gongxi must participate. Lu Gongxi had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to the alliance.

And today's private meeting with Prince Qi Zhuer is also the meaning of Young Master Hui. Lu Gongxi didn't want to participate in this private meeting, let alone the dining room or not, the dining room should not be the king of a country. Those who went, said that the emperor was still in the camp, and Prince Qi secretly organized a private meeting. If he was caught, where would he save face?

However, Gongzi Hui insisted on asking Lu Gongxi to go to a private meeting. Gongzi Hui holds the greatest military power in the Lu country. Lu Gongxi had no choice but to bite the bullet and be manipulated by Gongzi Hui again.

Suffering such a great humiliation today, Lu Gongxi felt that it was all caused by Gong Zihui, but he had no way to complain, and he even raised a smiling face and apologized from the beginning to the end.

Lu Gongxi organized his words and said: "Today's matter... I have already said it a long time ago, this Taifu Qi is not someone who can be offended..."

At this point in his words, Young Master Hui had already smiled coldly, and said gloomyly: "Your Majesty, how many times have I told you not to be kind and indecisive like a woman! Is the purpose of the Son of Heaven just to have a state of Qi? The Son of Heaven is ambitious! , His real goal is the entire East! Can’t you see through this? If we don’t cooperate with Qi State, once the Son of Heaven breaks Qi Lu into Qi State and supports Qi Lu to become the king of Qi State, then our Eastern Three Kingdoms will also become the king of Qi State. It will soon fall, and by then...huh!"

When Prince Hui said this, he sneered again, and said sarcastically, "The monarch is so benevolent to a woman, no wonder your perverted father would rather love to see the little bastard than pass on the title of monarch to you!"

Father of the pervert, of course he was referring to Lu Gongxi's father.Lu Gongxi's father married Lu Gongxi's wife, that is, his daughter-in-law, and gave Lu Gongxi a younger brother. Lu Gongxi's father preferred the younger son and ignored Lu Gongxi , whether it is the "little mother" or the younger brother, it is Lu Gongxi's shame. Now that Young Master Hui mentioned this matter so calmly, Lu Gongxi's heart tightened, his face turned pale instantly, and he felt as if he was being hung up and whipped Embarrassed.

Lu Gongxi didn't speak, his teeth made a sound of "dedede". I don't know if it was because he didn't dry off after taking a bath and put on his clothes in a hurry, it was a bit cold, or because he was stimulated by Mr. Hui's words. Emotional, restraining his trembling.

After Young Master Hui finished speaking, although he relied on his own status and merits, he became more and more rampant, but at least he was a man of scheming and knew that he had made a slip of the tongue. Although Lu Gongxi didn't dare to challenge him, his face was quite embarrassing.

Young Master Hui squinted his eyes, his gloomy and handsome face suddenly changed, restrained his disdain and anger, as if changing his face, he became gentle instantly, stood up, and came to Lu Gongxi's side.

Lu Gongxi subconsciously took a step back and kept a distance from Young Master Hui. It could be seen that he was afraid of the "Regent" of Lu Kingdom.

Young Master Hui smiled, showing a gentle and caring smile, took off the cloth towel beside him, put it on Lu Gongxi's wet hair, gently wiped his hair, and said: "Xi'er, uncle is also in a hurry. I said something angry just now, please forgive my uncle for once, okay?"

Lu Gongxi's breath was still a little unsteady, but his face quickly calmed down, he laughed dryly, and said: "Where is the uncle, how can Gu be angry with him?"

Gong Zihui said: "Uncle is also for your own good, come, rest, sit down."

Young Master Hui pulled Lu Gongxi to sit down, asked him to sit, knelt behind Lu Gongxi on one knee, and gently wiped his wet hair, his voice was still so gentle, even with a hint of deep bewilderment, saying : "Your Majesty also knows that I am also for our country of Lu. Our country of Lu is a huge country. How can we allow the emperor to spy on you? The country of Lu cannot be destroyed in the hands of us, can it?"

Young Master Hui also said: "As a minister of the Lu State, Hui dare not have two minds with the King. This point is clear to the Lord, but sometimes he is outspoken and easy to say the wrong thing. Don't let him go." In my heart..."

While brushing his hair, Prince Hui continued, "Look at the state of Zheng. Why is the state of Zheng so strong? Isn't it because of the harmony between the king and his ministers? Bo Zheng trusts his ministers to worship Zhong, which is why the state of Zheng has become a success." Powerful, Your Majesty, Uncle is also your loyal subject, you must trust Uncle to be the one. In this world, anyone can murder Your Majesty, but Uncle is the only one who is sincerely for His Majesty's good..."

At this moment, the emperor camped.

Qi Lu stroked his chin with a smile and said, "Young Master Hui has too many dramas, but he just doesn't know how to satisfy him. In a word, he is insatiable..."

Gong Zihui was already a man under one man and above ten thousand people, and his status in Lu State was unmatched, but he was still unsatisfied and continued to be a monster, and finally succeeded in killing Lu Gongxi.

Qi Lv also said: "We can take advantage of Duke Lu's love and hatred for Gong Zihui to obstruct them and divide them. When Lu's country is divided, Lu will see if there are still Duke Lu and Gong Zihui. Feel free to take care of Qi's affairs."

Son of Heaven: "..." Is this how you use it as a hindrance?

The Son of Heaven said: "Although what Taifu said is reasonable, neither Lu Gong nor Gongzi Hui are good masters. I'm afraid... they won't be divided so easily."

Indeed, although Young Master Hui is arrogant, don't forget that he has real talents and real learning. He is arrogant and has the capital to be arrogant. It is not arrogance, but "conceit".Young Master Hui is good at fighting, he is good at the art of war, he is not a reckless man, he is full of schemes in his heart, brave and resourceful, it is not easy to divide such a person.

And what about Lu Gongxi?Duke Xi of Lu is cautious and has a good reputation in the State of Lu. Otherwise, when the late Duke passed away, there would not be so many senior officials supporting Duke Xi of Lu as the King of the State of Lu.Although Lu Gongxi is not a famous emperor through the ages, he is not a faint emperor after all. He is clear and considerate. It is also not easy to divide Lu Gongxi.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Emperor, don't worry, the smarter the person, the more he thinks, the easier it is to divide..."

The emperor wants to invite Lu Guo to have a banquet, and Taifu Qi will hold the spoon himself.

Several other countries in the alliance also heard about this incident. It is a great honor for the emperor to invite you to dinner, but the other countries are not envious at all.Not for anything else, because there is no good banquet at this time, and the state of Lu is afraid that disaster is imminent.

Everyone gathered outside the city of Linzi for the purpose of helping the Qi State and resisting the emperor, so that the emperor could not let the emperor support Qi Lu to become the king of Qi.Now Zheng Guo has been successfully eliminated and has become a "traitor" of the alliance. Whether it is forced or willing, he has already taken refuge in the emperor anyway. Now that the emperor's spearhead has turned to the state of Lu, it is obvious that this is the first emperor of the emperor. Playing chess in two moves, you want to target the country of Lu.

That's what Qi Lu's method is - please eat!

This time Taifu Qi personally took charge of the spoon, and the scene was not small.Since he was inviting Lu to dinner, Qi Lv made some preparations in advance and cooked all Lu dishes to suit his liking.

Yipin tofu, Jiuzhuan large intestine, Dezhou grilled chicken, hot kidney, braised prawns, all of which are the housekeeping dishes of Shandong cuisine. After being served by Qi Lu, the taste is naturally needless to say.

"Your Majesty!"

The eunuch walked in respectfully from outside the tent, Lu Gongxi was sitting in the tent, and Young Master Hui was also there, the two had a topographic map in their hands, obviously they were discussing important matters.

When the eunuch came in, Lu Gongxi said, "What's the matter?"

The eunuch said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven sent someone here to invite your Majesty and my officials from the state of Lu to have a meal."

"Dinner?" Lu Gongxi squinted his eyes, the emperor invites you to eat, it's still at this juncture, there is absolutely nothing good.

The eunuch said, a little trembling, submissive, and raised his head to glance at the young master Hui who was beside him, as if he had something to say.

The eunuch looked at Gong Zihui several times, and said coldly: "Is there something that you can't say in front of me?"

Lu Gongxi was afraid that there would be a estrangement between him and Young Master Hui. After all, he wanted Young Master Hui to help him stabilize his position in the State of Lu, so he immediately scolded the eunuch, saying, "Say what you want, why hesitate? My uncle belongs to the State of Lu." The minister who bears the tripod, what can't you say?"

The eunuch got permission from Duke Lu, and then he said tremblingly: "The Son of Heaven... the Son of Heaven invited His Majesty and Your Highnesses to a banquet, but it is on the list of guests," the eunuch said, and looked at Young Master Hui submissively. , and continued: "Only...but there is no son's name."
